Wish I Had Done It Sooner! Happy Now Though!

I had a consultation with Dr Gray about 7 months ago for liposuction of the abdomen. I felt comfortable with him which is great! because that made its easy to tell him what I was hoping to achieve. I am on the smaller side with some natural curves but was carrying more weight on my abdomen in comparison. I am 25, 5'2 and roughly 115 lbs. I didn't have so much fat on the sides but more of cello shaped fat on the front part of my belly.
About a month ago I had the procedure done at the Victoria Surgery Clinic. It went well and seemed pretty simple. I did not like waking up from the anesthesia but I personally just don't like the feeling of being on any drugs or napping either. I woke up with no pain at all and had my mom drive me home and hangout with me for the 24 hours that you cant be alone.
The next day I was a little swollen but not too much. I wore the garment and hung out in my boyfriends yard but stayed out of the sun as I heard the heat can make you swell up more.
The next 3 days were the worst of the swelling but it still wasn't really that bad. During day 2 and 3 I took the optional pain medication but after that I didn't need any. I was able to do my laundry and drive to a friends house, no one would have known that I had had anything done! After the first week I got my stitches out by one of his nurses and felt medium-mild swelling with only very mild soreness. Over the next two weeks the swelling slowly went down and I wore loose clothing.
By week 3 I did not fit the wrap around garment I had been provided with and bought a smaller size one from Sears that looked just like under clothes which he recommended I do.
I started to wear summer dresses but stayed out of the direct sun light during the hottest hours of the day and continued to wear the garment I bought from Sears.
I am now at one month post op and just have a few scars that aren't super noticeable with some help of concealer.
I am very happy with the results of the procedure so far. My abdomen is only mildly swollen below the belly button where the most fat was removed. I don't regret getting abdominal liposuction! and I am happy I got it done by Jason Gray. He did exactly what I was hoping for which was removing the cello shaped fat that hung out in the front of me. My stomach is pretty much flat now. Probably wont wear a bikini just yet, but pretty soon will! That being said it has only been a month and I know results can take up to 12 months. Will update with before and after pictures soon.
